Don’t you love those words that are created by mini-words that describe what they mean? You break down the term and find its syllables have micro-meanings that define the macro-word. And sometimes the macro-word means so much more after you study the perspective from the mini-words.
It’s kind of like getting to the lowest common denominator of a number or two fractions being added together, being the root number. Then the simplicity of the equation becomes instantaneous.
Or …
When the gluten-free, vegan pizza systematically made of holistically digestible nutrition appears unappetizing next to The Pie until your mind allows your body to feel the sensation of swollen fingers and cheeks like last time you chose immediate satisfaction. The health-za vs the pit-za suddenly wets the lips knowing the parts comprising the sum won’t leave residual affect
Or …
An individual, bringing specific layers of ‘Technique, Endurance, Attitude, Momentum’ as she integrates into the T.E.A.M. as a whole.
And you’re thinking ‘really?!’ Not seeing much correlation here, huh? Here’s my train coming into the station.
The dictionary term, dis·ease (noun):
‘medical condition… specific disorder… a condition in humans, plants, or animals that results in pathological symptoms and is not the direct result of physical injury, … with recognizable signs and often having a known cause’
… can be built on …
The combined dictionary terms, #1 Dis (pro-verb):
‘put down… attack…something is not ’
Plus, #2 Ease (noun):
‘comfort… free from worry, problems, restrictions’
… which equals together …
“attacked comfort … something not free from worry … a problem or restriction”
The word ‘disease’ to me feels permanent. The essence of the word implies finality, as it’s unchangeable. It’s a given that something is wrong and I just may die if I can’t fight it harder than its fighting me.
As a health professional, I went through periods of what some may call hypochondria, when I would project what I was studying on my own mind and body. I could convince myself I had the symptoms as easily as I could rid them away. There’s no doubt that pain exists on a range of levels, more tactile and tangible for some than others. Wearing a yellow t-shirt certainly can radiate a tint of jaundice. And a pain in my chest is never something to purely ignore like I do a pain in my butt.
Does Mind take over Matter in these cases, including how the mere addition of the ‘-‘ (dash) can change the whole meaning, and possibly the diagnosis when we see it in writing?
I’ve felt pains in my butt develop even if just a play on words by simply doing for someone without feeling valued, and after I control them coming back by simply saying no. I’ve also felt panic lead to chest pain where the diagnosis was so far from the signs and symptoms, which didn’t stop until I knew there was no ‘disease’ but only ‘dis-ease’. What was happening inside or amongst the parts was in no way causing the lasting effect the sum equaled, to me at the time.
There are lots of chemical jargon and big medical terms I can share for what happens when. The message here, or rather the SWEAT of the Matter is that there’s that which is within our control, and that which is not. My ability is far different than yours, etc… In order to move through ‘Disease’ or a state of ‘Dis-ease’, the same action plan is needed.
Take control of what you can to the ‘nth’ degree. And rehearse it with solutions to gain your power and/or back.
For that which you cannot control, which is often the majority rule, cover the scope of that which can affect your health, which is psycho-physical. Ease the mind to heal the body, and vice versa.
To those of you that swell after one of my favorite indulgences, a thickly loaded greasy cheesy pit-za, have the meal and feel it. Then remove all gluten and dairy from your diet for a week. Go back and have the same meal. How do you feel?
To those of you that experience panic and/or chest pain, call your doc and check the Stress Test results off your list.
It’s amazing just how quickly you will regain control from ‘dis-ease’ like panic or poor food choices, and heal the body from the impact of ‘disease’.
I hope you’ve enjoyed a wonderful summer season and will give your body and mind time for a healthy cleanse before the winter sets in. Clean your gut, recharge your brain and love your life!
